IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED JOINTER AND CUTTER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 222,1] 3, dated November 25, 1879; application filed April 23, 1879.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HERMAN ELMER WIs- NER, of Howell, in the county of Livingston and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combined J ointer and Gutter for Plows, of which the following is a specification.

Figure l is a side View of the combined attachment. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail side View of the cutter or colter. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the inner side of thejointer-seat.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to furnish a combined jointer and colter, which shall be so constructed that they may be attached to the plow-beam with as much facility as an on dinary cutter, so that the edge of the furrowslice may be turned over, and the roots, vines,

850., cut off in front of the plow at the same time, and that the jointer may be adjusted as may be required.

A represents a cutter, which is designed to be secured to the plow-beam in the usual Way, and in which is formed a row of holes, a, to receive the bolts 1), by which the jointer-seat B B is secured to the said cutter A.

The jointer-seat B is an angular casting, one side of which is made flat to fit against the side of the cutter A, and has a hole, b formed in its lower'part and a curved slot, 12 in its upper part to receive the bolts 12, by which it is secured to the said cutter. The row of holes a and the curved slot b allow the jointerseat B to be adjusted. as may be required.

The outer part or wing of the jointer-seat B is curved to receive the mold-board O and the point D of the jointer, which are secured to the said seat by bolts. With this construction the jointer may be adjusted higher or lower, or at a greater or less pitch, as may be desired.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The plate B, having the curved slot b and provided with the jointer-seat B, in combination with the colter A, having a series of holes, a, as shown and described.

HERMAN ELMER WISNER.
